yes there better, mixers are there main focus. like sum company’s focus and excel at one thing and try to dabble in others but there never as good a product.

The Behringer fx pedals are often joke-worthy but I’m a big fan of the mixers and the direct boxes. I recorded these demos http://soundcloud.com/sim-tut/absynth-smmh all through a Behringer GI100 di box, with the box between my amp head and cabinet, instead of from the line out. Also got a cable tester for like $25, when all the other cable testers run over $100 at least. I also have the Bass synth pedal (a toy), and the Reverb pedal (a joy!). So like most companies some stuff is good, some stuff bad, but almost always worth a shot because of the price. I’ll take the GI100 over the $200 SansAmp I used to own any day.

It’s the RV600 Reverb Machine. I bought it specifically for use with my wife’s keyboards. I had one of the Vintage Time Machines (the “Memory Man clone”) but it was too big for what it did and frankly I have always preferred digital delay/reverb. But the RV600 is so far really cool, and cheap. My wife doesn’t play enough to spend a mint on pedals for her setup, so with her Casio, I use the aforementioned BSY bass synth, a Dano Tuna Melt tremolo (replaced on my board by the Ring Thing), a classic Boss FT2 Dynamic Filter (One of my faves but supplanted by a Q-Tron+), and the RV600.

they’ve been making those for several years now…

One of the reasons they can sell their products for such low prices, is that much of what they make uses ‘borrowed’ designs – they do very little research and development themselves.

examples include the EHX/Boss/Sansamp clones for pedals, the XENYX mixers – ‘inspired’ by the Mackie Onyx range, and some of their rack processors and preamps – ‘homages’ to dbx and others.
